Description
Pyramisa Island Aswan Hotel is a five-star resort established in 1992 and renovated in 2009, uniquely situated on Isis Island in the middle of the Nile River. The hotel comprises a main five-story building plus two two-story villas, offering a total of 450 rooms ranging from Single rooms to Presidential Suites and garden-view chalets. Guests can enjoy three restaurants including two à la carte options, a heated outdoor pool, and extensive kid-friendly facilities such as heated children’s pool sections and a playground. The hotel provides a complimentary boat shuttle every 20 minutes connecting the island to the city, facilitating easy access despite its island location. While the rooms and some facilities show signs of aging and could benefit from refurbishment, the scenic Nile views and tranquil island setting remain strong draws for visitors seeking a calmer pace. Services like currency exchange, laundry, conference facilities, and spa treatments are available, though many come at an additional cost.
Location
The hotel is located on Isis Island, approximately 14 km from Aswan International Airport (ASW) and about 1.5 km from Aswan city center. The island location requires guests to use the hotel’s free shuttle boat, which runs every 20 minutes and takes around 5 to 7 minutes to cross the Nile. The hotel sits opposite the Old Cataract Hotel and is close to the historic Agha Khan Tomb, which lies less than 1 km away. This positioning offers guests scenic Nile views and a peaceful environment away from the city hustle, though you should factor in the boat transfer time when planning your arrival and excursions.
Tips
- Plan extra time for your transfers since reaching the hotel requires a boat ride from the city dock.
- If you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, request assistance as help is available but often tip-based.
- Consider booking rooms with Nile views and balconies for the best scenery, and bring some personal toiletries or disposable linens if you are sensitive to cleanliness based on mixed housekeeping reviews.

Reviews
The staff were very helpful and provided excellent service. However, the rooms are quite dated and not very clean. The bathroom doesn't have separate wet and dry zones, so water splashes everywhere when showering. Most of the amenities in the room felt old and worn out. It’s a great place for the scenery, but the room facilities definitely need improvement.
When we got to the hotel, we had booked a king-size bed room, but the front desk gave us a twin room. We went back to the front desk to negotiate a room change. They gave us a key and told us to move our luggage ourselves. After changing rooms, they asked us to return the original room's key to the lobby.
The breakfast and dinner included with the hotel stay were absolutely terrible, but there were no other options, so we had to accept it.
What was absolutely, utterly unbearable was how dirty the room was. When I pulled back the duvet, there was a strong smell of foot odor. The showerhead, which was supposed to be fixed to the ceiling, was half-detached. Everything, from the floor to the bed, tables, chairs, and the entire bathroom, was incredibly dirty.
Communication was poor, we emailed the hotel 3 times in the lead up to find out how to get to the island and received no response.
